hmmm. that might be worth the 90 odd minutes it takes to get there from here via the bus and train. the only real issue is going to be getting back (the last buses run their routes and stop just before 10 PM on most routes). -eric On Dec 15, 2014, at 10:47 PM, der.hans wrote: > Am 14. Dez, 201

Hi All - just a reference for future use if needed. If Stammtisch ever happens in downtown Phoenix, a good location with a reservable room, is LUX on Central - luxcoffee.com just in case... On Sun, Dec 14, 2014 at 7:41 PM, Brian Cluff wrote: > On 12/14/2014 06:20 PM, Stephen Partington wrote: >>
